Lyrics

Between 1984-1992 I was in a variety of bands, both as a singer and drummer. More often than not I was also the lyricist. My chosen styles of music were hardcore punk, thrash metal, or a combination of both. I sang and/or banged the skins for: Head First, Big Deal, Skullfucker, Belial, Wreckage, Equal Opportunity Destroyer, Dead Locked, and Joe Rockhead. I played parties, clubs, and recorded several demos. None of these bands ever amounted to much, but the time I spent with them was among the most enjoyable and rewarding of my life. Unfortunately, much of the output from my adventures in music has disappeared. I did find a few old note books with some scribbled lyrics. The songs below represent my first foray into creative writing.

Feel The Knife

(lyrics: Brian Anderson 1985)

Don't die

Just feel the knife

You deserve

To suffer in pain

Here's my kiss of death

Take your last fucking breath

Don't tell me your life of sorrow

'cause there'll be no tomorrow

Feel the knife

It's the end of your life

You won't see the dawn

'cause you'll be gone

Loss Of Control

(lyrics: Brian Anderson 1987)

I'll take you out in a blaze of fury

You better make tracks in a hurry

I've hit the wall - Loss of control

Feels like the Devil has taken my soul

Now the alcohol is taking its toll

Human life means nothing - Loss of control

Out on a rampage of violent hate

Your path crosses mine, that is your fate

Over The Edge

(lyrics: Brian Anderson 1987)

I don't expect you to understand

After all you're just an ordinary man

I've been to the edge, I've crossed the line

Now I'm sitting here running out of time

All because she lied

I couldn't stop myself, I really tried

Breaking my heart and stabbing my back

Sparked the fire for a grizzly attack

She spread her lies like a foul pollution

Violence seemed lie the only solution

And then she cried

But I couldn't stop myself, I really tried

So I got to the point

Everything went black and I couldn't turn back

She died

You say it's a sin

But I'd do it again and again and again

She died

I left her bleeding on the bed

With a hammer claw driven through her head

Now it's my turn to die

I'm waiting for the chair, I'm gonna fry

And so she died

I couldn't stop myself, I really tried

Junkie

(lyrics: Brian Anderson 1987)

Shoot that shit into your veins

With a needle that you share with gays

Now you got AIDS and you don't know why

You're on deathrow from getting high

Spead disease

You fuckin' sleaze

Your sickness brings you to your knees

Your body's weak

Your brain is meek

And now you're gonna die

Sell your hole for a fix

Anus fucked by homo dicks

Your skin is yellow, your head is lost

You need the smack at any cost

Brain Waves

(lyrics: Brian Anderson 1988)

Laying in a hospital bed

Doctors think that I'm dead

But I know I'm alive

I know I will survive

Waves come pounding from my skull

Being dead is very dull

Parents chose to let me die

No support to keep me alive

Don't cut me off - Brain waves

I'm alive - Brain waves

I'll run from the light - Brain waves

Brain waves

Power Trip

(lyrics: Brian Anderson 1991)

It started one night

After weeks of hard stress

I found myself

In a state of distress

First came my dog

Put a bullet through his skull

Turned towards my family

Decided to kill them all

Start to rip on a power trip, spill some blood

Final breath, total death, grave is dug

Caping shots, body rots, fatal grip

Evil spell, go to hell, power trip

Next came my sister

Rammed an icepick through her head

Strangulated my mother

While she slept in her bed

Went across my father

With a kitchen knife

Drank blood from his wounds

As he lost his life

And I went into my brother's room

He was sleeping in his bed

I thought of sparing his innocent life

I kissed him on his head

But I realized this kid must die

And I don't mean to gloat

I looked into his sleepy eyes

And slit his fucking throat

Me screaming for Big Deal 1985

Me and Kev at band practice 1985
